Player Skill Judging

Drafting
There are four positions. At one time, there is one goalie, two defensemen, one center, and two forwards. The Defensemen, centers, and forwards are "skaters".

All of these are on a scale from one to ten (with .5 incraments).

Goalies are graded by: Saving-Reflexes-Vision-Health=Total. (Goalkeeping is on a scale from 1-20).

Skaters are graded by: Passing-Puck Handling-Shot Power-Shot Accuracy-Checking-Toughness-Defence-Size-Skating-Health=Total

Don't forget that goalie total and skater total are very different.

Forwards most need Shot power, shot accuracy, skating, puck handling, and toughness.

Centers most need Passing, Puck Handling, skating, Shot Accuracy, and defense.

Defensemen need Defense, Size, Checking, Toughness, and Shot Power.

All need health.

Setting Lines
Once all players have been drafted, you must set your 8 lines. The following are the different lines (Each have 5 skaters, no goalie included):

1st line: This is the five starters, or your best five skaters.

2nd line: This is the next 5.

3rd line: This line can do something, but doesn't have high expectations.

4th line: The worst line.

Powerplay line 1: 5 man line of players who have a good chance of scoring on powerplays.

Powerplay line 2: 5 man line of the next most likely players to score on a powerplay.

Penalty Kill 1: 4 man line (only 1 forward) that should be defense based.

Penalty kill 2: next 4 best defensive players (in D-D-C-F)
